" There were scenes and pages from that original Magneto script that were fold into the ruined yield … The scuttle in Auschwitz - and then with Sebastian Shaw - [ was ] right out of that original book , except that it was originally Mister Sinister , which is why Sebastian Shaw in reality has power more like Mister Sinister ’s than his own . "

The scuttlebutt refer to Sebastian Shaw having   power standardized to that of Mister Sinister refers to a modification that was made to his found top executive in the laughable account book .

It also pee-pee mother wit why Riptide of the Marauders was choose to be a member of the Hellfire Club inX - man : First Class , as Mister Sinister was the father of the Marauders in theX - Mencomics .

Mister Sinister was the most high-pitched - profile X - Men scoundrel to never make it into the motion picture . The movie rights to theX - Menfranchise are now owned by Disney , and there will a come up a power point where the squad enters the MCU , even if itwon’t be for a while .
